A more competitive looking bumper than usual but CEBUANO has done nothing wrong in his two starts and deserves to find a race. Michael Halford's charge made a promising start at Roscommon before running into a better than average mare in Avida Star at Down Royal and will be unfortunate to find one as good in this event. Heron Trix looked a nice prospect last year but a long absence tempers enthusiasm while Peqeno Diablo has looked one-paced in his races to date and may need more testing conditions. The Shepherd King, a winner between the flags at Ballynoe, made a promising bumper debut at Tipperary in April and is one for the future while the likes of Masterofthebree and Lastofthepilots can also go well.
